Highlanders Sneak Win Over Hurricanes

A late penalty has given the Highlanders the narrowest of victories in the Super Rugby final rematch against the Hurricanes.

The Highlanders have won 17-16 in Dunedin, with Hayden Parker kicking the winning points in the final four minutes.

Malakai Fekitoa scored the only try for the Highlanders, who also had two late tries disallowed, while TJ Perenara scored the only five-pointer for the Canes.

It means the Hurricanes are the only New Zealand team without a win from the first two rounds.
